Fine Blotter: Week 9 -- the "I almost forgot about THIS farce" edition

  • Baltimore Ravens: "Murderer" Ray Lewis: $20,000 for a helmet-to-helmet that knocked Hines Ward from the game. The refs called no penalty on that play.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers: Ryan Clark, a TWO-TIME LOSER, making the fine for his hit on Ed Dickson worth $40,000.
  • Chicago Bears: Earl Bennett: $5,000 for illegally-colored shoes, a uniform violation.
  • Denver Broncos: Von Miller: $15,000 for roughing the passer.
  • Cleveland Browns: Josh Cribbs: $7,500 for a flagrant facemask.
  • Two Oakland Raiders add to the reputation of the league's dirtiest team for fouls against Tim Tebow: Aaron Curry draws $20,000
  • Jarvis Moss, $15,000.
  • Miami Dolphins: Marc Colombo: $7,500 for a late hit
  • New York Giants: Antrel Rolle: $5,000 for an illegal University of Miami logo on his eyeblock. The fine now makes Rolle a THREE-TIME LOSER with the league this season.

There was talk James Harrison was going to get fined this week, but he escaped, apparently.

And here's a kicker for you: It has been learned today that the NFL may be about to fine eleven players (suspending one of them) for violations of the substance abuse policy with recreational drugs.
